Rain has changed to snow in North Platte. I drove west about 20 miles on I-80 to see where the rain/snow line was at about 715am or so. It was 36F in North Platte when I left with light rain. By the time I reached mile marker 160, I was getting large snow flakes, but then it changed back to rain by about marker 158… this was likely due to precipitation intensity. As I was driving back, the temperature was holding steady about 34F and the rain was very chunky… about 75% melted snow as it was reaching the ground. As I got back to North Platte, it was almost entirely back to all snow as precipitation rate was fairly intense. So, as I type, I look out the motel window at heavy wet snow now finally. Now let’s commence the accumulation!
